The concert will be Britney’s first in Israel, which has seen several big-name artists including Elvis Costello and Lauryn Hill cancel shows in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement - a stanch opponent of Israel’s heavy handed policies against Palestine.

Last month, Radiohead came under pressure from the movement after announcing a concert in Israel. In a statement from the BDS movement, the band were urged to not associate their, “good name and integrity to an intricate propaganda machine whose main aim is to “show Israel’s prettier face.””

Guy Beser, one of the promoters involved in bringing Britney Spears to Israel, told the Jerusalem Post that, “When it comes to artists as big as Britney, Guns N’ Roses, or Aerosmith, I don’t think that BDS really effects them.”
